Those guys don't fly the plane! It's all on autopilot

This looks like a slippery slope. First 'plastic people', then what next? One of my RC models has a rubber dog pilot in the cockpit.

That is just blatant cruelty.

He used to be soft and flexible, but now he's quite old and has gone a bit hard and perished. Next time I have a rough landing his head might snap off. Not sure when that might be though, as I haven't flown any of my models for a while. He's had a hard life, as he's in my oldest model, and that's been patched up on multiple occasions after encounters with gorse bushes, and greater than optimum angles of approach during landing. One time I managed to bury about the first 8 inches of the nose and cockpit in a bog, but that was when he was young and resilient

You MONSTER!!

I forgot to mention the time he had to endure a tree landing. I then threw countless small rocks to dislodge the model from the tree

They knew what they were signing up for.... I say let 'em die.......

 

[jefmcg]

Actually, they're dying because they get fatally distracted when the air hostess blows them up.

That's one TMN to me.

Well, there's a precedent for this

Which reminds me...

I heard this yonks ago and pi$$ed myself laughing (even after reading it again now got the tears of laughter flowing).
Anyone else remember this (and thought it was funny)?

To be fair, this is one of the more sensible e-petitions I have read.

Unbelievable. I can't even post a bit of light humour without someone using it to score forum points against me.

@jefmcg wasn't scoring points - see this post - a TMN is awarded when someone has already mentioned the same thing earlier on in the thread ...

Presumbly your post was in respect of the same scene from that movie?

Thanks Shaun. The only reason I didn't post a more explicit image is because I didn't want airplane autopilot blow job in my search history.

Well, it's there now.
